Maryam Bibi’s team won an important game against China Women. After losing their first game against Myanmar Women, the side won the last game by three wickets. Bibi would look for a better show from her batters as they struggled in the small run chases and need a big win to improve their run rate. 

Yasmin Daswani and Shanzeen Shahzad failed in the last game and the team needs a strong show from them at the start. Kary Chan played a match-winning knock and needs to repeat the same show in the middle order and add runs with Maryam Bibi and Ruchitha Venkatesh. Emma Lai and Charlotte Chan must deliver the big blows in the final overs. 

Alison Siu bowled brilliantly in the last game, and she will look to grab early wickets with Maryam Bibi. Kary Chan and Iqra Sahar will look to do well in the middle overs. The side will also expect a good show from Betty Chan and Emma Lai in the ing role.

Mongolia Women Preview

Odzaya Erdenebaatar's team suffered its second consecutive loss. The team hasn't matched up to the constitution in any of the games. The 78-run loss against Myanmar Women has ended all their hopes of reaching the final.

Gansuk Anujin and Batjargal Ichinkhorloo must deliver a strong start at the top, as Hong Kong's bowling attack will test them. Tsendsuren Ariuntsetseg must hold the innings together in the middle order and add runs with Odzaya Erdenebaatar and Battsetseg Namuunzul.

HKGW vs MNGW Pitch Report

Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field, Hangzhou is a small venue. It allows the batters to free their arms on the track with even bounce and pace. There is assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. Spinners also do well in the latter overs as the ball grips the surface.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen low-scoring games in the tournament. The track is tough to bat on early in the game. Both teams will prefer to chase on this uncertain track and hence we expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.
